Netflix has announced two new Gears Of War Is A Better Video Game Movie For The Rock Than Call Of Duty
Announced by Netflix on the 16th birthday of the first Gears of War title, the franchise is finally getting a well-deserved adaptation. Declared as a partnership between Netflix and developers The Coalition, Gears of War will receive both a live-action movie and an adult animated series. Further teasing the adaptation, Netflix also confirmed that there's potential for more stories in the universe to be developed after the confirmed two projects.
What The Gears Of War Movie And Show Could Be About
Despite the announcement, it's still unclear what the adaptations could involve. The most obvious route for Netflix would be to follow the path of their The Witcher series, with the Gears of War movie and subsequent series loosely adapting the game's origin story. It's hard to imagine an adaptation of the franchise that doesn't first explain the game's expansive backstory, and it's even harder to imagine an adaptation without series stalwart Marcus Fenix taking center stage. Regardless of how the series plays out, it's an incredible opportunity for Netflix to bring one of gaming's richest worlds and incredible stories to the screen.
While Gears of War fans are understandably excited by the announcement, with Netflix's track record, it's only natural for some gaming buffs to be skeptical. The streaming service can be quick with its cancelations, as Netflix's recent Resident Evil series after season 1. That being said, it's difficult to imagine that a Gears of War adaptation could be anything but a success, and if adaptations like The Witcher are anything to go by, gaming fans are in for a treat.
